Mathew Jacob Riley, May 9, 1996 - April 20, 2013. This is a celebration and remembrance of his life. This is a place where I certainly hope that other mothers will find some hope, some peace. We as a family will never experience life quite the same without our beloved Mathew, but if we can persuade another heart to find hope, than our Mathew will live on forever!

~ I Linger ~

~ I Linger ~

"Over the hill, and through the glenn I lingerIt is here you can come to me ~Safe to carry your ache and your tearsAnd lay them down in the soft grass ~I will tend to them.

Time and again I will wait for you here ~You will feel me touch your cheekAs the breeze brushes your skinSafe in the knowing that it is in the releaseYou will begin to heal.

Know this my love ~ I am ok.Can you feel that when I say it?How true it really is?

It is you I am caring for now ~Carrying you across the bridge of sorrowTo the other side ~ where the sun shinesAnd you remember the days I was with youRather than the days I was not.

I wish you godspeed in that journey my love ~For it is there that once again our hearts uniteAnd we carry on ~Apart ~ and yet ... in so many waysTogether again.

It is what I wish for ~ and know it will come to beThat you remember me with love and laughterFor it is only then ... we will be free."Christa Thompson

An angel in the book of life wrote down my babies birth. And whispered as she closed the book, "too beautiful for earth!"

"Suicide is not a single, quiet thing you do to yourself. Rather it's like pulling the pin on a hand grenade while you are surrounded by everyone who knows you.... as surely as the hand grenade explodes, it will send fragments into all those around you, and they will be victims, too."

“…I put down these memorandums of my affections in honor of tenderness, in honor of all of those who have been conscripted into the brotherhood of loss…” - Edward Hirsch

My Feelings

You may not agree with my feelings. If you don't that's too bad. If you know me then you certainly will know that it's not your opinion, sympathy or terrible comments I need, it's your support and your love! If you bring that here then welcome friend!

"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or touched they must be felt with the heart!" Helen Keller

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and of unspeakable love." ~Washington Irving
